Every photo we share is a real person trusting us with their story. Protecting that trust is a big deal to us, whether you came in for newborn snuggles, a family session at the lake, senior portraits, or a night in the Lounge. Here is how we handle your images and your privacy.
Your Permission Comes First
Images shown on our website and social media are shared with client permission. If you would rather keep your session private, just tell us. Your images will stay between us, and your experience will be exactly the same.
Extra Care for the Lounge
Intimate portrait (boudoir) sessions get an even higher level of privacy:
- Intimate images are only shared on our website or social media with your written permission
- We never tag, name, or identify Lounge clients
- Your gallery is delivered privately, just for you
- The Lounge section of our website is limited to adults 21 and older
Protecting Children
We love photographing kids, from their very first days all the way to senior year. When we share images of children, we do not identify them by full name, and we never share details like where they live or go to school.
Protecting Your Location
When we photograph you at home, at your cabin, or at another private location, we do not share the address. We also remove hidden location data (GPS information) from images before they are posted on our website.
How We Protect Our Images Online
- Images on our website are posted at web size only, not full resolution
- We take steps to block automated tools and AI systems from collecting our images
- Copying, downloading, and AI use of our images are prohibited under our Terms and Conditions
- Intimate portrait images are kept out of public image search results
Want an Image Removed?
Changed your mind? No problem, and no explanation needed. If you or your child appear in an image on our website or social media and you would like it taken down, contact us and we will remove it promptly.
See Your Image Somewhere It Should Not Be?
If you find one of our images being used without permission, altered, or used with AI, please let us know right away. We will work to have it taken down.
